# AncientScripts Parallel Corpus v1.0.0

+
|

+
**Script → transliteration → translation triples across five ancient writing systems.**
|
| 4 |
+
Built from scratch by Guy DuGan II (WithIn Us AI) — every row licensed clean,
|
| 5 |
+
every source attributed.

+
## What it is
|

|
| 16 |

|
| 17 |
+

## Licensing — read this
|
| 37 |
+
|
| 38 |
+
All ancient texts are public domain by age. Transcriptions are CC BY-SA
|
| 39 |
+
(Open Greek and Latin TEI, Wikisource, ORACC/RIAo). All English translations
|
| 40 |
+
are public domain (pre-1929 publication) or CC BY-SA. **Per-row `license`
|
| 41 |
+
and `translation_source` fields are the authority** — attribute accordingly.
|
| 42 |
+
|
| 43 |
+
Deliberately excluded: ETCSL translations (require permission for
|
| 44 |
+
compendiums), ctext.org (prohibits automated access), and any modern
|
| 45 |
+
copyrighted translation (e.g. the Loeb Shorey Republic). Egyptian hieroglyphs
|
| 46 |
+
deferred to v2 — no suitable English-parallel bulk source found.
|
| 47 |
+
|
| 48 |
+
See `SOURCES.md` for the full per-source license verdicts and `BUILD_LOG.md`
|
| 49 |
+
for the build record.
|
| 50 |
+
|
| 51 |
+
## Use
|
| 52 |
+
|
| 53 |
+
Pretraining and fine-tuning for transliteration, ancient-language translation,
|
| 54 |
+
and symbol understanding. Builder scripts included for reproducibility.
